23 April 2007, Local government (County council)
The complainant requested a copy of a report into the Norwich Central Library fire of 1994. The public authority withheld some parts of the report under both sections 36 and 40 of the Act and other parts under section 36 only. Following the Commissioner’s intervention, the public authority released the information withheld under section 36 only. The Commissioner found that the public authority was correct to withhold the remaining information under section 40 of the Act and did not therefore consider the application of section 36 in relation to that information.
FOI 40: Not upheld
